I pursued a career in accounting because I like numbers and solving accounting problems. I did not pursue it to look at fucking internal controls and document IPE all day. I feel fucking duped.

Try some private clients

😭😭😭😭😭😭

OP, what level are you?

Have you tried Tax? I do private equity and there are plenty of complex waterfall accounting and other items that require real accounting and numbers solving. It’s great!

FSO Tax - you might enjoy it. We are always looking for people actually interested in “solving” the questions rather than blindly following templates

How is FSO different ^

Guess there’s been a mass exodus at EY FSO tax

Definitely need to try some private clients

My first client was private and I liked it so much more. They were gonna IPO and then got bought out so we lost them as a client now I’m on two public’s -_-

EY OP what level are you? It gets more interesting at a senior/manager level

Received a job offer at a consulting firm as a data analytics consultant for $20k more than I am making now. I am torn on taking the job offer because my manager told me I was getting promoted at the end of the year to a data analyst. I am not sure what the salary range for a data analyst is at my current job. Should I take the job or wait it out to see what my end of year raise would look like? I really like my job and team so leaving would be tough, but this raise is something to consider.
